1972 CESSNA 172L REPAIRABLE AIRFRAME, BRAKE LOCKED UP, OFF SIDE OF RUNWAY AND FLIPPED, CHEAP!
THE 172L IS THE FIRST 172 WITH THE NEW ROUND GEAR LEGS WITH AERODYNAMIC FAIRINGS!
THE CURRENT 172S STILL USES ROUND GEAR LEGS!
WITH IT’S SWEPT TAIL, MODERN SEATS AND DASH AND THE SAME COWLING SETUP,
THE 172L HAS THE SAME OVERAL LOOK AS THE 172M AND 172N THAT FOLLOWED IT!
THIS AIRPLANE SUFFERED A BRAKE LOCKUP AFTER LANDING, WHICH CAUSED THE AIRPLANE TO DEPART THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY INTO THE GRASS!
THE AIRPLANE BOUNCED ON THE NOSE AND TUMBLED FORWARD, ENDING UP ON IT’S BACK!
OF COURSE, BEING ON IT’S BACK IS NOT GOOD FOR THE AIRPLANE, SO DAMAGE RESULTED.
THE TOPS OF BOTH THE VERTICAL FIN AND THE RUDDER ARE WRINKLED.
BOTH WINGS ARE WRINKLED OUTBOARD
THERE IS A DENT ON THE LEFT LOWER COWL SKIN, BUT THE REST OF THE LOWER
COWLING AND NOSEBOWL ARE NOT DAMAGED, AND THE DENT APPEARS IT WOULD
POUND OUT!
SURPRISINGLY, THE AILERONS DO NOT APPEAR TO BE DAMAGED!
AND THE FLAPS, WHICH WERE REMOVED TO GET THE WINGS OFF, ARE STORED INSIDE, UNDAMAGED, AND INCLUDED!
THE LIFT STRUTS ARE ALSO UNDAMAGED!
IN FACT THE OUTBOARD WINGS, VERTICAL/RUDDER, 1 WINGTIP AND THE LOWER COWLING DENT ARE THE ONLY DAMAGE FROM THIS EVENT!!
THE FUSELAGE ITSELF SHOWS NO DAMAGE!!
NO FIREWALL OR BOOTCOLW DAMAGE!
NO DOOR, WINDOWS OR WINDSHIELD DAMAGE!
NO TAILCONE DAMAGE!
THE NOSEGEAR AND MAIN GEAR SHOW NO DAMAGE!!
EVEN THE UPPER COWLING SHOWS NO DAMAGE!
IN A BIG SURPRISE, THE COMM ANTENNAS ON THE TOP OF THE CABIN ARE NOT EVEN BROKEN!
MUST HAVE BEEN A WEIRD ANGLE, AND A LIGHT ROLL OVER!
THE ENGINE WAS SUBJECT TO A PROP STRIKE, SO THE ENGINE, ACCESSORIES, PROP AND SPINNER ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS LISTING!!
THE THROTTLE AND MIXTURE CABLES, ELECTRICAL WIRING AND FIREWALL MOUNTED ITEMS ARE ALL INSTALLED AND INCLUDED.
NO ENGINE MOUNT DAMAGE!
INSIDE, THE TAN CLOTH INTERIOR IS IN GOOD CONDITION, AND EXTRAS INCLUDE
SHOULDER HARNESSES AND A VERTICALLY ADJUSTABLE /ARTICULATING PILOT’S
SEAT IS INSTALLED!
ALL OF THE AVIONICS AND SOME OF THE FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS WERE REMOVED
AFTER THE INCIDENT AND ARE NOT INCLUDED, SO THE DASH PANEL IS INTACT,
BUT WITH AIRSPEED INDICATOR, ALTIMETER AND VSI THE ONLY FLIGHT
INSTRUMENTS.
YOKES, SWITCHES, CIRCUIT PROTECTION, CONTROL CABLES, ETC. ARE ALL STILL INSTALLED!
PAPERWORK INCLUDES AIRFRAME LOG FROM JAN. 1990 TO THE PRESENT (NO MENTION OF LOST EARLY LOGS, BUT WE DIDN’T GET THEM).
LAST ANNUAL LOG ENTRY SHOWS 14,162 TOTAL TIME, AND THE CURRENT TOTAL TIME IS 14,216.
PAPERWORK ALSO INCLUDES THE FAA AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE AND THE FAA BILL OF SALE!
WITH THE PRICE OF THESE 172’S AT ALL-TIME HIGH VALUES AND SUPER HIGH
DEMAND, I FELT LIKE WE SHOULD OFFER THE AIRPLANE TO SOMEONE WHO WILL PUT
IT BACK INTO THE AIR RATHER THAN JUST PART IT OUT!
LOCATED AT THE GRASS VALLEY, CALIFORNIA AIRPORT.
WE WILL PAY THE TIE-DOWN FEE FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTIONJ,
AND YOU ARE WELCOME TO CONTINUE PAYING THE NOMINAL FEE FOR LONGER IF YOU
NEED TO.
Good bidding!
WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT DOES NOT OBTAIN REPAIR ESTIMATES, AS WE DO NOT REPAIR ANY OF OUR AIRPLANES. WE ONLY FACILITATE THE SALE OF REBUILDABLE AIRCRAFT TO THOSE DESIRING TO SAVE MONEY OR HAVE MORE AIRPLANE THAN OTHERWISE POSSIBLE FOR THE MONEY.
REPAIR OF ANY AIRCRAFT WILL DEPEND ON MANY FACTORS, SUCH AS AVAILABILITY OF USED PARTS, LABOR RATE OF THE REPAIR FACILITY, FAMILIARITY WITH THE AIRCRAFT, ETC. AND WE WOULD NEVER PRESUME TO ESTIMATE THIS NUMBER FOR A BUYER. BEWARE OF THOSE WHO OBVIOUSLY GIVE UNREALISTICALLY LOW "ESTIMATES" FOR THE REPAIR OF THE DAMAGED AIRCRAFT THEY SELL.
THIS ITEM IS BEING SOLD WITH A LOW RESERVE, THEREFORE WE FULLY EXPECT THIS LISTING WILL SELL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER AT THE CLOSE OF THIS AUCTION, SO BID EARLY AND BID HIGH. THERE WILL BE NO CHANCE TO BUY THIS ITEM LATER!!
AS WE SET OUR BUY-IT-NOW SO LOW, MANY OF OUR AIRPLANES SELL BY THIS METHOD BEFORE THE END OF THE AUCTION. DONT WAIT TOO LONG HOPING TO SNIPE IT AT THE END, AND BE DISAPPOINTED !
WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT INC IS THE #1 VOLUME SELLER IN THE USED AIRCRAFT MARKET!
WE ARE THE REAL BRICK AND MORTAR WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT YOU HAVE SEEN ADVERTISED ON PAGE 6 OF TRADE-A-PLANE, AT OUR BOOTHS AT OSHKOSH, SUN-AND-FUN, AOPA, AND ELSEWHERE FOR OVER 20 YEARS !!!!
WE HAVE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF SATISFIED CUSTOMERS OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS, SO WHEN YOU BUY AN ITEM THROUGH EBAY FROM US, YOU CAN BE ASSURED THAT WE WILL LIST ALL ITEMS AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE, AND THAT WE WILL ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS TRUTHFULLY.
PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS THROUGH THE LISTING(ASK SELLER A QUESTION), BECAUSE THESE QUESTIONS GET ANSWERED IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER.
PLEASE DON'T ASSUME. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT ANY FACET OF ONE OF OUR LISTINGS, PLEASE ASK !
SO THAT ALL BIDDERS HAVE THE SAME INFORMATION,WE PREFER NOT TO ANSWER DETAIL QUESTIONS BY PHONE. OUR PHONE SALES STAFF HAS NO DIRECT KNOWLEDGE OF THE ITEMS ON EBAY.
DUE TO THE AUCTION FORMAT, IT WOULD NOT BE FAIR FOR THE HIGH BIDDER NOT TO BUY THE ITEM LISTED, SO TREAT YOUR BID LIKE A HANDSHAKE!!
YOUR BID IS NOT A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL, BUT RATHER A CONTRACT TO BUY OUR AIRPLANE AT YOUR BID PRICE
SO BE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION, AND FUNDSIN PLACE.
A NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT OF $2,000 IS DUE WITHIN 72 HOURS OF THE BID CLOSING. WE PREFER PAYPAL FOR THIS DEPOSIT, BUT IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PAYPAL, LET US KNOW, AND WE WILL HELP YOU FIND AN ALTERNATIVE.
